AIGLX probs

I used the tutorial on the redblog.

if all went well, on an i386 target there should be ATI-fglrx-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm, ATI-fglrx-control-panel-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm, ATI-fglrx-devel-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm, and kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-KERNEL-VERSION.fc6-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm in the working directory. These RPMs can then be installed. During the RPM install process it will run aticonfig --initial, but if this is a fresh FC6 install one more step is needed. Ensure that the below segment is found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, otherwise Mesa will be used when restarting X. If this portion is not found in your X configuration, add it:

The .rpm's did no download into the working directory. Is there a way to wget these? or other methods?

Also, grab the 8.30.3 driver otherwise the 8.29.6 virgin driver won't work on FC6 final. See: http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/?p=blog&i=NTU1MA If you use the 8.29.6 driver you will need to use that install script at Redblog but with 8.30.3 it should work fine with the original driver using --buildpkg Fedora/FC6.
